Master Ming Yan had already returned to the sect six months ago, but he had been observing it from the shadows.
He had been traveling abroad, searching for Tier Three Spiritual Objects for his Golden Core while also seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Then, a little over six months ago, he chanced upon a Divination Master from the Celestial Secret Pavilion. He requested a reading to divine his future path.
To his surprise, he drew a rather auspicious lot. It read: "A dragon lies hidden in cloud and mist; a keen eye spies the purest gold. No need to wander far and wide, for destiny is found close by."
He spent three thousand Spirit Stones for an interpretation. The Divination Master explained that, according to the hexagram, his fated opportunity lay in the northwest of Li State—right near the Li Huo Sect.
So, Master Ming Yan secretly returned to the Li Huo Sect. But after half a year of searching, he still hadn't found his fated opportunity.
